"Alexis Saelemaekers will be missing Tuesday night's trip to face Bologna because he has not fully recovered from an adductor problem. As MilanNews recall, Saelemaekers seemed to be fully fit again last week, so much so that Max Allegri named him as a starter in last Sunday's trip to Rome. The Belgian was then substituted at half-time, after a difficult opening 45 minutes."
"Three replacement options The first solution is the least likely: a back four could be considered, with Fikayo Tomori or Koni De Winter moved to the right, then Matteo Gabbia, Strahinja Pavlovic or De Winter as the two central defenders, and Davide Bartesgahi on the left. The second option is to play Zachary Athekame, a much more likely option than the previous one. The only unknown is the Swiss full-back's condition, which appears to be less than 100%, meaning he could start on the bench."
Alexis Saelemaekers will miss the trip to Bologna because his adductor has not fully recovered. He appeared fit last week and started in Rome before being substituted at half-time after a difficult first 45 minutes. Saelemaekers has started all 22 league games, playing 1,843 of 1,980 minutes, which underscores his importance. His flexor issue is preventing full fitness, so Massimiliano Allegri is considering alternatives. The least likely solution is switching to a back four. More probable solutions are using Zachary Athekame if fit or deploying Ruben Loftus-Cheek on the right in the 3-5-2.
